Help Needed!
« on: January 09, 2014, 12:09:15 PM »
Hi All, I'll try to keep this as brief as possible, but I'm in serious need of help here! Long story short, I was asked by a psychologist to take over his medical billing as he wasn't happy with his current biller. I had NO experience but have done other work for this Dr. and wanted to help out. So I had partnered with a couple who had previously owned a successful medical billing company, but were now retired. I THOUGHT I was making a good move, but turns out, it was a disaster and we ended our partnership a few months ago after a few months of working together. Since then, I am struggling BIG time with some issues with claims (so far most have resolved easily but some I fear won't) and now it's a new year, new rules, new eligibility checking, etc. I am using Office Ally only and doing things manually with regards to claims checking and verification of benefits, and this is taking me WAY more time than I had thought, and isn't very cost effective due to my learning curve. Currently, the dr has not given me billing for Dec. or January yet, and I'm thinking this is a good time to reach out and see if anyone is looking to either help out to do this together, or possibly take over for this Dr. who is a great guy and deserves every penny he can get.
I appreciate your time and please let me know if you are interested...
Thanks,
Ilene Reynolds

P.S. He does approx. 40 - 80 claims per month (the last 2 months were minimal).

Make sure you cover HIPAA when doing this transaction.  Don't just send the info over without an agreement of some sort being signed.  This is PHI.

Sorry!  Don't mean to be a pain but I don't want anyone getting into trouble when you can easily cover your bases.   ;)

I AGREE ..that scared me too. sorry again, don't mean to be a meanie but you just don't go faxing claims around. Not only would I make sure the transaction was secure but that I had the proper insurance in place!
